For Your Study or Holiday in New Zealand - Stay Where Kiwi’s Stay
Do you want a typical Kiwi house with gardens, a room with a view, a luxury suite or a campsite for your motorhome?
Part of the pleasure of study or travel is choosing where to stay. Happy living means effective learning or enjoyable travelling when you take a course or tour in
► Homestay - your Kiwi home away from home
· You have your own bedroom with adequate furniture, lighting and heater.
· The host family provides you 3 meals every day, power, local phone calls and laundry on a weekly basis.
· You will get the most cost effective chance to hear and speak everyday English with host family members. Your English language proficiency improves more quickly. Students who live in a 2WAYS homestay are more likely to succeed in their study.
· A family environment not only gives you the perfect way to experience the real Kiwi way of life but also the great opportunity to make lifelong friends!
All host families are carefully selected and regularly inspected by 2WAYS, so we make sure they will provide you with a warm, welcoming and caring home. We have a variety of different family types in our database including couples with children, single parent families, couples with no children, retired couples, single families, etc. Just let us know any special requests at the time of booking and we will do our best to find a most suitable family to match your preferences.
► Self-contained Apartment - your convenient base for city life
· We can arrange for you one, two or three bedroom modern apartments with shared a kitchen area, bathroom and laundry facilities or a studio apartment with your own cooking facilities and bathroom
· This is the ideal option if you want to a high degree of independence and freedom
· These facilities are fully furnished and are cleaned once a week (fresh linen provided)
· Conveniently located close to the CBD, schools, shopping centre or major tourist attractions
► B&B or Guest House - your comfortable stopover
· The traditional hospitality of a Bed and Breakfast offers both a welcoming place to rest your head and the chance to meet real New Zealanders.
· Many are located in comfortable, beautifully restored older buildings.
· Rooms vary from one or two through to a dozen or more.
· Some are located near a wide range of activities and attractions, while others are secluded in beautiful, out-of-the-way spots where you can just relax and feel at home.
· These places have the personal touch provided by their owners and a friendly atmosphere.
► Residence House / Flat / Unit - go flatting with flatmates
· You have more independence, freedom, and more responsibility as well.
· “Go flatting” is only for people aged 18 and over to share a house or unit with one or more people - kiwi or students of different nationalities – then you must speak English.
· You are required to share the cost of power, telephone, internet and food in addition to the cost of renting the room.
· Flatmates normally take turns to share duties such as cooking, cleaning or gardening.
· Most rental flats do not have furniture apart from an oven, a laundry, curtains and carpet – you need to arrange your own necessary furniture and appliances.
· A bond payment of up to 4 weeks rent is paid in advance to the Tenancy Services – this is refunded at the end of the rental period if the flat is still in good condition.
· It’s good for a long term stay - minimum 12 weeks.
► Holiday Parks / Camping Grounds - your home of ‘back to nature’
· Most campsites / holiday parks offer both non-powered and powered sites for motorhome and campervan at a minimal cost.
· Easy access to shared kitchens, shower and laundry facilities, barbecue facilities and play areas
· Most campsites are located within an attractive landscaped setting (often beside a beach or lake)
· Many parks also have motel units and backpackers' lodges which have self-contained kitchen and bathroom facilities.
· On board toilets can only be legally emptied from motorhomes into Dump Stations, which are normally found in holiday parks.
· The campsites provided by Department of Conservation (DoC) are usually quite basic, offering 'back to nature' style accommodation and facilities.
· Considering safety and the impact of freedom camping on the environment, freedom camping is not recommended in
